LEO KENNEDY HAILS US
FROM THE FIJI ISLANDS
The Southwest Pacific.
March 12, 194?
Dear Editor Bill-I received my
first issue of The'Star a few week--
ago and found its contents to be
of great interest to me. I not only
learned of the everyday happen-
ings around old' Port St. Joe, but
in your "Write 'Em a Letter" cot-
umn I found the' addresses of some
of the boys from St. Joe. Some of
the boys here thought your "Pearx
Harbor" edition to be very good.
I did too, but I think every. ed-
ition is swell.
I will now try to tell you where
I anm and some' of the things I
see here. I am now in the Fiji Is-
lands. This place isn't too 'bad, but
it is not Paradise by any means.
One thing I get stumped on so
much is that its hard to tell men
from women, as they all wear
skirts. 0, yes, the women aren't
as lovely as those babes you setu
in those South Sea Island pictures
at the Port theater-they are the
-reverse of beauty. One thing nice
about this place is that we're nofu
pestered with any yellow Japrats.
Well, I must go, but before sigh-
ing off I would like to give my
best regards to the people of thll
old home town.

Dear Mr. Smith-I'd. like to have
you add me to your list of Star
Eubscriber. I'm progressing nicely
with my basic training, and like
New York very 'much but could
sure use some Florida sunshine.
Miy ,blood is a bit thin for this cold.
Would appreciate hearing from
my friends, in St. Joe and all the
service boys overseas and in the
States. Mail call is truly the main
event of the dy here, and it Is
a big boost to the- morale to hear
your name called.

March 9, 1944.
Dear Mr. Smith-I'm sorry that
I don't have time to write stories
or editorials for The Star every
week like some of your patrons,
but am taking this much time to
thank you for a very fine paper.
No one at home knows exactly
how much it helps us boys so fa,
from home, to keep up with the
old town.
As for the "Honor Roll," I wouil
be very glad to see my friend,
James H. Barrington of the navy,
among those who serve their
country.
I have used, up nearly two sub-
scriptions to your paper since I
came overseas and, have enjoyeO

MILLARD



CALDOWELL!

; This Governor's race is a question of men-as
well as issues. Florida faces stormy days as the
war approaches its end, as our veterans return, as
industry and business begin to convert to peace-
time pursuits.
Our next Governor must be a man capable of
piloting Florida safely through the oncoming
storms a man who is calm, level-headed, ener-
Igetic and sincere; a man of proved business ability
*and tested statesmanship.
Millard Caldwell is such a man!
His record c, public service is outstandi::n. He
was a member of the Florida Legislatures of 1929
and 1931 when he was chairman of the important
Rules Committee. He served brilliantly as U. S.
Congressman from 1932 until 1941 when he volun-
.tarily retired to private life.
He has never before been a candidate for
Governor He has never been defeated
for public office.
'He was born on a farm at Beverly, Tenn., in
1897. His father was a successful lawyer; his
grandfather a Baptist preacher. He was a star
athlete at Carson-Newman College and the Uni-
versity of Mississippi where he was still a student
when he volunteered as an Army private in World
War I. He was commissioned as second lieuten-
ant of Field Artillery before the war ended. Later
he finished his education with a law course at the
University of Virginia.

NO TAX RABBITS LEFT IN HAT
After reading scholarly talks on our tax
problems, and after listening to arguments
for and against different methods of taxation,
one fact stands out clearly-everybody ane
his dog must now pay sacrificial taxes, and
government extravagance must be cut as
drastically as taxes are increased.
If we fail to do this, we admit that w.,
prefer to pass on to the boys at the front nor
only the risk of life and limb, but the obli-
gation of an unnecessarily high public debt.
We make no sacrifice in buying interest-
bearing bonds which create debt and in per-
petuating every boondoggling political proj-
ect, while our fighting men sacrifice their
lives and opportunities and families to pre-
serve us safe from hardship at home.
Unless those enjoying war profits and war
wages pay heavy taxes now to hold down the
national debt and prevent the devaluation of
the dollar, and unless government expenses
are cut to the bone, there will be no chance
of lowering the tax rate after the war so
that industry and the people can have the
tax relief necessary to encourage the accurnu-
lation of earnings and savings which are es-
sential to industrial expansion on a peace-.
time basis that will provide permanent jobs
for all.
No amount of rhetoric can change these
facts.

"IF"
If your monthly bank statement did not
show what you thought was the proper bal-
ance, what would you do? We can answer
that easily. You would hotfoot it directly to
the bank and investigate. Why? Because
it involved your finances.
But, suppose each month when your child
brings his report card home that his marks
aren't up to what you think they should be?
\Vhat do you do? Do you investigate? Do
you seek out his teacher and make an hon-
est effort to ascertain just why his marks
aren't up to par? Do you try to remedy the
situation?
It's just a thought! Maybe, after all, thl
child's future is at stake and could be bright-
ened with a little thoughtful co-operation on
the part of parents.
